Laws and Legislation

ESL (second language learning) Laws, Legislation, and Legal Decisions: To begin the process of promoting background awareness of ESL, you will design a slide show that presents information on key laws, legislation, and legal decisions. This Wiki page should include a title, graphic, and brief overview/summary of the slide show along with the actual slide show file. Be sure to include a few links where faculty and staff may "read more about" the laws that have impacted second language learning. Last, be sure to include a footer consisting of a graphic and your contact information.
